To be fair State laws are super important there. Most laws will be state laws. While councils in the UK means fuck all. Just get to move a little bit of chump change around.

I don’t know how it is with the British coverage, but it’s really funny here because every single Norwegian reporter is just so incredulous that anyone would ever support Trump. It’s like they’re finding it difficult to ask Trump voters about it without just being really rude or breaking down laughing or something.

Those of you watching anything live, what have you opted for? Good ol BBC or something more daring?

And you end up with situations like California where loads of things are decided by referendum. For better or for worse.

Yep would be good if it were properly worded… and they you know… didnt bother with all the specialist stuff where the public have know what it means.

Sure, every power not expressly granted to the federal government.

Lots of states are being balloted today on legalising weed. California is voting on abolishing the death penalty. Many could massively raise their minimum wage. They’re all pretty big deals, but obviously not making the headlines in the same way as the presidential election.

Shooting at a polling station reported (unconfirmed). Depressingly predictable

Two people wounded apparently.

Its amazing that these record low popularity figures are par the course in the UK. Were 30% approval rating is good.

It’s weird when you see a paper US ballot card, just how many questions there are and different things to mark off- makes our choose one box jobs look so basic.

KY and IN called for Trump, VT for Clinton (not surprising)

others too early to call.

Pssst, move it on over to the other thread yeah

My wife’s card had 84 I think. Most of those were for judges. She had to bring a crib sheet to vote ‘no’ on the shitty ones.

This race has been pretty awful. They are neck and neck even after this moment of overt racism.

guys…

Guys…

:worried:

I feel sick.

Not really all that shocking. Will be more interesting to see where they go from here.

Not this

In the way it’ll be interesting to see how a car skids off a road and rolls down a hill.

I can also imagine a Simpsons-esque joke here where we see the Dems chanting “LOVE TRUMPS HATE!” and then cut to the GOP supporters chanting “LOVE TRUMP’S HATE!”
